    THE late Enzo Ferrari once described his company's cars as "engines with wheels attached to them", and said that aerodynamics was the pursuit of those who were terrible at engine building. What he would have said about cars powered by electricity, which don't even have engines at all, we can probably guess. But he probably would have approved of the F8 Tributo.

    "Tributo" ("tribute" in Italian) is not just a reference to each of the F8's glorious predecessors that had an octet of cylinders, but to the car's very own beating heart, its 3.9-litre, twin-turbo V8 engine.
